SFO MVP - Appreciation Letters to Our Troops

The MVP Committee invites all Airport employees and students to show love and appreciation to our active-duty military personnel and local veterans by writing letters and cards to thank them for their service to our country.

Outreach and share the following guidelines with your family, friends, and your community school(s).

  • Draw pictures and/or write letters with uplifting and positive messages.
  • Write about yourself, but not about politics or controversial issues.
  • You can write your first name, grade, and the school’s name if your school allows you to do so; do not write your last names or home addresses.
  • Do not write sentences that will have a negative impact on the morale of the troops.

Samples of cards/letters and an introductory letter to share with your school(s) are attached. Blank notecards which can be personalized with your message are available upon request.

With help from Airport employees, tenants, and local school communities, we hope to reach our goal of 5,000 letters and cards. All letters and cards must be submitted to Hazelle Fernandez, Accounting- 2nd Floor, SFO Business Center, 575 N McDonnell Road, San Francisco, CA 94128, by November 12, 2021.
